Describe what problem this solves and why this would be valuable to many users

When there are numerous people in a photo, it becomes particularly challenging to locate specific individuals of interest in the facial recognition interface. Especially when the frame contains many unrecognized strangers who don't require tagging, even simply finding the few target persons already identified by the AI and correcting their incorrect labels necessitates prolonged scrolling through the interface. This issue results in significant time consumption when organizing tens of thousands of photos.

Describe the solution you'd like

I hope faces that have already been recognized and named by the AI could be automatically pinned to the top of the list, eliminating the tedious process of manual searching.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A mosaic view could help, but would make names and edit buttons harder to display clearly.
